Sometimes when a scooter gets laid on it's side gas will flow out of the tank vent and fill the evap canister. There is supposed to be a check valve in the vent line but they don't always work. This plugs the tank vent causing negative pressure to build in the tank thereby stopping fuel flow. This will show you how to get rid of the evap system. itistheride.boards.net/thread/5847/evap-pair-removal |

cronekd2012-- that is exactly the same syptoms this scooter is having. Except mine was only about a 5 mph fall.
I've checked the PAIR system for any excess fluid to no success. Bone Dry. I havent checked my charcoal canister yet but the tank vent is on the top right side and it fell on its left side. I will check it none the less.
Could the valves need readjusting after a fall?

When I looked at my engine I noticed a small hose connecting to either the carb or the engine was disconnected; so I went ahead and reconnected it at the source. After reattaching everything and putting my battery back in, it wouldn't even turn over. I'm not sure what the issue is now, but all I could hear was a small sparking noise from my positive battery terminal.

Went to start it up this morning after sitting all night. started up and I was able to twist the throttle to keep it alive. it eventually idled out and sounded (relevtivly) ok. Hitting close to WOT you can tell it is struggling and boggs a bit.
